As we explained in World Sprint Tour (WST) week 1, WST is about close racing throughout the field. It features small, driveable cars, on short tracks. The aim is to produce action packed, 25 minute races, where everybody is involved in a dust up with a close rival.

Gents - after some great racing at Vayline, we now move to Canada for Mission Raceway. We're starting off with the Simca Corsa, which is actually 3rd in the A0 power/weight tables, pretty much the same as the finale vehicle @ Vayline (the Renault R8 1300). We then move on to the eminently chuckable Fiat 850, which arguably provided some of the closest racing of the first sprint week. To finish off, we return to the R8 Gordini 1300 but this time pitting it against the Simca Rallye 2 1300, in a classic "Fast A0 vs slow A1" battle.

There is only really one quirk to mention about Mission Park - if you go straight on through T4L, through the cones and out the other side rejoining at T6L (ie avoiding the Cascades), you will receive a cut and lose a lap. So, if you balls it up going into T4 and end up not quite making the corner, DO NOT just carry on straight, take your medicine, recover safely and get back to T5R. I don't really think anyone could complain if they lost a lap for missing 3 corners (ie 33% of the turns on a lap).
